My favorite is beaver, what's your fellas favorite kind of job?
Trapping is easy you say? You try getting your target animal to step in a 3 inch area of its whole territory.

Bats are easy money for sure, as per $/hour. But I'm about done with them as it is just to hard on my body doing all the ladder work
Beavers would be what I enjoy the most Only ever had one beaver job I hated. Had to walk a long way to site and the beavers were some of the hardest to catch Guy said no one trapped them before. But I believe someone had been from a differnt property. Half of the ones I caught were black so I think someone had a honey hole I know of a very hard working trapper that trapped the vicinity but had died two years prior to me getting the job. So I think he had kept them in check and then after he passed they became a problem
Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!
If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

Gophers comprise 80% or more of my jobs but they are not as challenging as moles.

Has to be Raccoons, Skunks, Chucks, Flyers, Beaver & Bats. Getting to that shakey ladder age, So I don't go that high to chase them anymore.
